As a city councilor, Hoy will help develop a more livable community

Chris Hoy is clearly the best candidate for Salem City Council from Ward 6.

As a member of the board of directors for Cherriots, I am interested in electing a city councilor who is a strong advocate for public transit. That councilor also needs to be able to rally others to support expanded bus service, including weekends and later evening service.

Chris Hoy is that person. He understands the great need in Ward 6 (and all over Salem and Keizer) for adequate transportation for everyone.

Ward 6 lacks complete sidewalks and other safe ways to get to bus stops, school or shopping. As an active cyclist in his neighborhood, Chris knows firsthand the problems residents face if they do not drive or have a car. He has lived in the area for the past 12 years and he knows that this part of town needs more resources from the city.

I have found Chris Hoy to be a good listener, easy to talk to, smart, enthusiastic and dedicated to public service. Support Chris Hoy for Ward 6 city councilor — he will help us all develop a more livable community.
